Radio station to play 'non-stop' festive songs until Christmas Day

There's less than 100 days to go until Christmas and soon people will be singing all the classic carols once more - as well as stocking up on the sweet treats, of course.

Although Halloween is just a month away, people are already turning their sites to the festive season instead with one radio station set to play songs a little earlier than expected.

If you want to get into the spirit of Christmas, Heart Xmas are set to plan non-stop hits every single day up until the big day.

The station, according to the Daily Record, are switching on earlier than previous years meaning people can now listen to the radio station with the likes of Wham!, Slade, Mariah Carey, Chris Rea and The Pogues all belting out lyrics to the tunes we love from 'Last Christmas', 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' and 'Driving Home For Christmas'.

Discussing the ultimate seasonal soundtrack for the festive countdown, Andy Everett, Managing Editor of Heart, said: “This year we’ve decided to bring back our much-loved festive station, Heart Xmas, earlier than ever before.

"Every year, Heart listeners get in touch earlier and earlier to request their favourite festive tunes, so we wanted to get into the Christmas spirit here at Heart Xmas with three full months of non-stop festive feel good!”

Due to the growing popularity of Heart Xmas every year, the seasonal spin off station will be available on digital radio across the UK in 2022 meaning Christmas fans can tune in from wherever they are in the UK on DAB as well as Global Player, bringing even wider coverage.

Heart Xmas is available across the UK on DAB digital radio, and on Global Player on your smart speaker (“play Heart Christmas”), iOS or Android device and heart.co.uk/xmas.
